2. For 82306: If more than one LCD-listed condition contributes to Vitamin D deficiency in a given patient and/or is improved by Vitamin D administration, coders should use: ICD-10 E55. 9 UNSPECIFIED VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY. This code should not be used for any other indication.
E55. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10 code: E55. 9 Vitamin D deficiency, unspecified.
This can further result in osteomalacia (soft bones) in adults and rickets in children. Osteomalacia and osteoporosis put you at an increased risk for bone fractures. Rickets is the same as osteomalacia, but it only affects children.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12.
Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 244.9 Code E03. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Hypothyroidism, Unspecified. It is a type of disorder of thyroid gland, a condition in which the production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland is diminished.
2: Polycystic ovarian syndrome.
E66. 01 is morbid (severe) obesity from excess calories.
Definitions. In adults, vitamin D deficiency is defined as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of less than 20 ng per mL (50 nmol per L), and insufficiency is defined as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of 20 to 30 ng per mL (50 to 75 nmol per L).
Vitamin D deficiency occurs when the body doesn't get enough vitamin D from sunlight or diet. Vitamin D deficiency can cause loss of bone density, osteoporosis, and broken bones. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin because your body makes it from cholesterol when your skin is exposed to sunlight ( 1 ).
Risk factors contributing to vitamin D deficiency in older adults include reduced nutritional intake of vitamin D, increasing adiposity, decreased cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D, and less time spent outdoors (Table 1) [22, 21].
A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage.
Having a high amount of body fat (body mass index [bmi] of 30 or more). Having a high amount of body fat. A person is considered obese if they have a body mass index (bmi) of 30 or more.
Code D64. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Anemia, Unspecified, it falls under the category of diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism. Anemia specifically, is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is below normal.
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency. D51. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D51.

II. Serum concentration of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is the optimal clinical indicator of vitamin D metabolism due to the rapid conversion of vitamin D to 25 OHD with only a small fraction converted to 1,25 hydroxyvitamin D (1, 25 OHD).
Vitamin D deficiency may lead to a variety of disorders, the most infamous of which is rickets. Evaluating patients’ vitamin D levels is accomplished by measuring the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Measurement of other metabolites is generally not medically necessary.
The Endocrine Society Task Force for Evaluation, Treatment and Prevention of Vitamin D deficiency (2011) recommended screening for vitamin D deficiency in individuals at risk for deficiency. The Task Force did not recommend population screening for vitamin D deficiency in individuals who are not at risk (high quality evidence).
Vitamin D is called a “vitamin” because of its exogenous source, predominately from oily fish in the form of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.
A major source of vitamin D for most humans comes from exposure of the skin to sunlight typically between 1000 hours and 1500 hours in the spring, summer, and fall. Vitamin D produced in the skin may last at least twice as long in the blood compared with ingested vitamin D.
The USPSTF recommends against daily supplementation with 400 IU or less of vitamin D3 and 1,000 mg or less of calcium for the primary prevention of fractures in non-institutionalized postmenopausal women. (Grade: D Recommendation).
Vitamin D deficiency results in abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism. Specifically, vitamin D deficiency causes a decrease in the efficiency of intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus, resulting in an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
Vitamin b12 deficiency. Clinical Information. A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of folic acid in the diet. Many plant and animal tissues contain folic acid, abundant in green leafy vegetables, yeast, liver, and mushrooms but destroyed by long-term cooking.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E53.8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Alcohol interferes with its intermedi ate metabolism and absorption. Folic acid deficiency may develop in long-term anticonvulsant therapy or with use of oral contraceptives. This deficiency causes anemia, macrocytic anemia, and megaloblastic anemia.
